@Roquen, I was taught that for reals, n/0 is undefined. The limit from the left is different than the limit from the right as x -> 0 (-infinity vs. +infinity), so it doesn't matter whether you "write out the limit" or not. Feel free to school me if I'm wrong.

@kaffinene: reals & float all have implicit positive signs if not stated: 1.0/0.0 = +Infinity always. 1.0/(-0.0) = -Infinity.@BoBear2681: That's formally correct. I was simply musing that when the 'sign' is obvious, does anyone bother with the limits? I certainly don't. In this context, since people award medals and others actively seek them and there's no thread of "make these go away"...it must approach from the positive.

Well considering that medal count should always be positive, the limit is coming from the right, therefore infinity.

<pedantic-again>Actually, it's the fact that the value of the medals (the denominator) is approaching zero from the right that causes our limit to be +infinity. The assumptions are that folks cannot have negative medal counts, and that medals cannot have a negative value.</pedantic-again>
